    Article was basis for "The Durst Talk" (so-named by students). Starter for conversation on role of citizen in pursuit of social justice (I think the talk put into play the idea of justice eclipsing charity, but article is not limited to that function). A personal challenge type of article.

      Worth mentioning: there is at present an ideological backlash against the very concept of "social justice." I think we need to be aware of how language is constantly evolving in this regard, as well as how to debunk the primary charges (disparagements) levied by the Religious Right and the Right in general.

      This gets at the heart of what we mean by "Global Citizenship"-I cannot think of a meaningful framework outside that of human rights. Challenge: "rights policy instruments" as active part of global education-what are they and how do we engage with them? Volunteerism is easy to do and to do repeatedly; social justice, I'm not so sure about what that looks like stemming from an educational setting.
